Blackbird, why you wearing that frown?Don't you know Jesus loves you and meAnd the preacher on T.V. you're putting down

Blackbird, how I love to hear your songsI could spend all of my time in the shadeOf the trees and listen all day longOh yeahI could listen all, all day long

But you're ever hearing, never understandingEver seeing, not perceiving and your heartHas grown callousYou're in a storm and lost your wayWon't you fly to heaven and be saved today

Blackbird, now you've broken your wingsYou try to fly high but you know that youCan't go anywhere, you can't do anything

Blackbird, who put you in your cageTell me, was it God or was it youWas it me? I guess it don't matter anywayNo, no, it don't matter anyway

But you're ever hearing, never understandingEver seeing, not perceiving and your heartHas grown callousYou're in a storm and lost your wayWon't you fly to heaven and be saved todayOh, yeah, Blackbird, yeah

You say you need a remedyfor the thorn in your prideI think it's such a tragedyThat you have left Him behind

You say you'd light your candleBut your love light doesn't shineYou say you talk to angelsWell I say it's such a lieYes, it is now such a lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie

But you're ever hearing, never understandingEver seeing, not perceiving and your heartHas grown callousYou're in a storm and lost your wayWon't you fly to heaven and be saved todayOh, yeah, Blackbird, yeah
